Kagan Recuses Herself From Vampire v. Werewolf

It looks like Elena Kagan's Supreme Court confirmation hearings have finally started tackling the tough issues, namely whether she is team Edward or team Jacob. Sen. Amy Klobuchar of Minnesota asked the nominee her thoughts on the daunting question of vampires or werewolves. To her credit Kagan dodged the question. From the article: "Ms. Kagan said she was not able to see Eclipse, but Ms. Klobuchar nonetheless continued, 'I keep wanting to ask you about the famous case of Edward versus Jacob or the vampire versus the werewolf.' 'I wish you wouldn't,' Ms. Kagan said. 'I know you can't comment on future cases,' Ms. Klobuchar said. 'So I'll leave that alone.'"

She's a Democrat

Of course she's going to ask inane questions, she wouldn't want to do any serious inquiry that might contravene her party line. The is true of Republicans when they have nominees, except they at least have the subtlety to make the questions seem somewhat serious.

Ridiculous

The Senator should be ashamed of herself. We're talking the Supreme Court here. The highest court in the United States. This question is an insult to our legislative system; it has no place in these hearings. Good on Kagan for not responding to the question.

Wrong team?

"whether she is team Edward or team Jacob"

Shouldn't that be team Jacob or team Man in Black?
